The Congress would approve in the following plenary session, to be held on January 29, the motion to interpellation against the owner of Ministry of the Interior (Mininter), Avelino Guillén. The statement consists of 74 questions that address issues such as citizen security, the disputed appointments of prefects linked to the Fenatep, among others. After that, Guillén must appear on the date set by Parliament.
However, from now on, Popular Renovation congressman Jorge Montoya advanced his intention to censor it. “The still minister will be questioned and possibly censored (…). Take a step to the side, stop us from wasting time, Peru doesn’t deserve it,” he tweeted.

Regarding this possibility, the promoter of the interpellation, Eduardo Salhuana (APP), explained to Peru21 that he respects Montoya’s position but that they will first listen to the minister’s responses. “We will be prudent and act proportionally to what you expose,” he declared.
“The Ministry has handled itself in a very bad way in this management because it has had three ministers in six months. We do not have a clear policy, nor a defined strategy, nor a State response to citizen insecurity in the country. In addition, there is evidence of a lack of coordination between the minister and the Police Headquarters. To a certain extent, it explains why the RP colleagues want to propose this measure. In the specifications we have tried to be very specific, it is not about moving the floor to any official but to exercise the control measure to improve, “he added.
The alternate spokesman for Fuerza Popular, Eduardo Castillo, reported that his bench has not yet analyzed the issue of censorship, but he did criticize the lack of an articulated plan to translate into the Ministry.
“We are supporting the questioning for the appointments he had in the provincial prefectures and because we want to know the immediate activities for citizen security. For example, the province of Sullana, where I come from, requested a state of emergency for months and we have worked in an articulated manner Police, prosecutors, municipality; That’s why I knocked on the minister’s door and he only sent a director who didn’t solve anything. This little capacity to not have clear lines to curb crime shows that there is absolutely nothing, only the growth of crime and a weak Police. Unfortunately, Guillén does not measure up. Therefore, we support the interpellation and we will be respectful of the procedures. What you have to do, first, is that you give an account of your inept work, “he told this medium.
